Singer and frontman Kobi Farhi comments: "Anyone who have seen already an unplugged show of Orphaned Land knows that it's an unforgettable experience. We are super excited to finally have our first ever acoustic tour accompanied by the Stimmgewalt male/female choir. It's always nice to strip our songs with different arrangements and we are eager to go back on the roads! I've waited a long time to take my "Jesus white dress" out of the closet and I guarantee it is going to be a holy musical experience, something to remember. See you all very soon!"
Those who haven't seen Orphaned Land performing an acoustic set yet, should check out the live footage of "Let The Truce Be Known (Unplugged)", which was filmed in Berlin in 2013. The lyrics and the story are based on the World War 1's "Christmas Truce". However, the story seems to resonate these days more than ever.

Trondheim Metal Fest are proud to announce the final line up for 2015's festival. This year's headliners will be Swedish power-metallers Sabaton and Finnish power metal legends Stratovarius!
Sabaton, formed in Falun, Sweden in 1999, have become popular for their history themed anthemic metal, with their lyrical content being drawn from World War I & World War II, among many other conflicts throughout history. TMF will also be Sabaton's last Norwegian show of 2015! While Statovarius formed in 1984, and have worked tirelessly; releasing 15 studio albums, 4 DVD and 3 live albums. Along with German bands Helloween, Blind Guardian, and Gamma Ray, Stratovarius is considered one of the leading and most influential groups of the power metal genre.
They'll be joined by US progressive metal legends Between The Buried And Me, French deathcore mob Betraying The Martyrs, and Norwegian thrashers Hellish Outcast. Between the Buried and Me formed in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2000. They have released a total of six studio albums, as well as an EP, a cover album, and two live DVD/CDs. Hellish Outcast formed in 2001 in Bergen by guitarist Martin Legreid, bassist Mads Mowinckel (BREED) and drummer Mads Lilletvedt (Solstorm, x-Byfrost). The band's latest effort "Your God Will Bleed" cemented the bands status as the Norwegian underground's raging pit bull. While French deathcore outfit Betraying The Martyrs have been causing mayhem across the planet with their razor sharp extremity. Their stunning debut offering, "Breathe In Life", saw them make a huge impact throughout North America touring relentlessly on such high profile tours as RockStar Mayhem Fest and AllStars, amongst a slew of other club treks.
Final additions to this year's line-up include Icelandic viking-metallers Skálmöld, Faroese doomsters Hamferð, Norwegian stoner doom heroes Sahg, Norwegian black metallers Iskald, Norwegian doom merchants Tombstones, progressive metallers Tellus Requiem, Nordic mentalists Attan, Trondheim thrashers The Hate Colony, extremists Scornful, Iranian black metallers From The Vastland and a selection of Norwegian tribute bands, Maiden Norway (Iron Maiden), Anthem ' DIO Tribute (DIO), Battery (Metallica) and Baghera (Pantera).
Further to this, TMF's sixth outing will be held at the glamorous Scandic Lerkendal Congress Hotel, both the newest hotel in Trondheim, and also the biggest conference hotel in Norway. Complete with three stages; sporting a total capacity of 2200, a metal market area, Q&A's, clinics, cinema, meet & greets, quizzes, tattoo stands, restaurants, bars, snack shop, gym, sauna, lounge areas and exciting travel excursions around Trondheim. In short, TMF in 2015 is not to be missed.
At 75 meters, the hotel is also Norway's third tallest building; with a skybar/conference room on the top floor, which has an exclusive panoramic view of the city. This will be used for a series of activities during the daytime, and will be turned into a skybar with metal karaoke once darkness falls.
The festival's current line-up includes British black metallers Anaal Nathrakh, Finnish folk metallers Korpiklaani, Irish black metallers Primordial, Norwegian black metallers Aura Noir, British thrashers Evile, German thrashers Tankard, Norwegian black metallers Khold, Greek black metal legends Rotting Christ, Norwegian avant garde mob Dodheimsgard, Norwegian metallers Circus Maximus & legendary Swedish rockers Crucified Barbara!
